Thread: Pg Perl & libpq HP-UX

Hi there,

I'm working on a database driven web project at work. All I want to do 
is write a perl script to plonk some input into a postgres
DB on a linux box. The client machines will be HP SUN & AIX; thing is I 
only need to install the perl PG module & it's pre-requisite libpq 
libraries.

Taking just HP as an example, how do I just install libpq & not the full 
postgres database software ?

Any pointers fully appreciated, keep up the good work.

Why not use DBD::Pg? This is all you should need to write perl
programs.
